Wednesday Night Ride

WOW is all I can say.

We started with grooming and eating pears.  She loves the pears I get off Janet's trees.
Then I did a little friendly game with the CS and let  her smell the ball.
Hind your Hindy
Put your Nose on the Ball, Driving game to the ball,
Getting her use to the ball on the ground, kicking it away from her.
Placing the ball in zone 1 for her to touch and the going on back to zone 2-3-4
Rolling the ball over her back and touching the legs (lightly)  still have issues there.

Circle game
Sidways game along the arena wall.  I Got a little strong and she climbed the wall (28" and then couldn't figure out how to get down)  I moved her and she figured it out.  More sideways down the arena.

Sideways over the ground pole

Send through the water at the end of the arena (she went right through)
Let her stop to eat grass

Backed her into the round pen.   Let her eat grass
repeated the back into round pen  Let her eat grass

Walked in the ditch and eat grass

backed up a hill into a gate
This was a little more challenging for her.  We stood there and had to move one foot at a time.  She tried to bite me and I gave  her the look.  She looked behind her and slowly took a step up and went took the rest of the gate slowly and waited.   FANTASKIC   she got to eat grass.

Went into the arena again and we touched the ball with nose and I put the sidepull on her and went to the side of the arena that I mount.  This time going on the left side.  She moved away and I had to re position her to the wall again.  She let me mount on the left side (bareback) and then we walked around the arena stick to the rail.  I walked her right through the water at the end of the arean and let her eat grass.

Then we did passenger lesson and I mirrored her moves all around the arena and  had her go back so I could get off on the left side.   Remounted after a few minutes and we were down.

What a horse.
